Whitney,

I meant trigger points, the time in your life that a trigger stimulates

fibromylagia. Thus a trigger point in time or event.

Fibromylagia can include many things and still being researched. I

just cut and pasted medical articles and also

what my fibromylgia journey that happened twenty years ago after a

series of medical events, thus my trigger point

in life. Wikapedia included all the current hypothesis on why it occurs

and it worth reading for anyone with fibromylagia.

So, what I mentioned were articles and I encourage everyone to research

for themselves as we are all different and react

different.

My photosensitivity is from my auto -immune disorder and my fibro

co-exists with it. I actually have come to be able to

define the differences and am treated with different medications for

both.

So the Triigger points are events, I really know the different and you

are right about trigger points but trigger points is a

expression used for many things, trigger points are not constrained to

myofascial pain but to the event or the thing that causes

something to occur.

Just wanted to clarify for you, what I meant. I know the difference

and like I say everyone is different. You could also be

checked for an auto -immune disorder if you continue to have problems.

Photosensitivity occurs with many disorders and diseases

to include migraines for an example.

So, I am not in disagreement, I referenced research, there is a lot out

there. Different people have different symptoms of fibromyeligia

and I have learned my sleep cycle effects the triggering of my fibro

pain. If I go without REM sleep it triggers a fibro flare. So, that

is

not a myofasicial fibro flare but a trigger point event that causes my

fibro flare.

I am lucky in that I try to keep my immune system up, nutrition up,

stress down, fibro meds at hand for a flare. Bennie
